Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1059 Dark Night Crisis
  The sledgehammer looked at the bone demon that had disappeared into the shadows of the forest, and smacked his hand in annoyance, "Oh! You let this guy run away, it's all my fault!"

Gao Jianli reached out to help the big hammer stand up, and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, he was hit by my sword and the cold air entered his body. He is destined not to be able to walk very far."

"Huh?" Big Iron Hammer was a little confused.

Of course, my brother himself knows best. Gao Jianli's sword will definitely make the other party feel uncomfortable for a long time.

But to say that it can directly kill the opponent, or make him completely incapacitated...isn't it a bit far?

Could it be that Xiao Gao is stronger again?
  Judging from what he did just now, it doesn't seem like he has made much progress, right?
  But it didn't take long for Sledgehammer's doubts to be resolved.

woo woo woo...

In the cold wind of midnight, along with the soft and caressing sound of leaves, the faint and cold sound of the flute reached the ears of Big Iron Hammer.

The quiet melody contains the chilling loneliness of winter wind and snow, which is refreshing to listen to.

Sledgehammer stared in surprise, "This is... "Snow White"?"

"So the snow girl is here too, so this guy can't escape."

Gao Jianli nodded calmly, confirming what Big Iron Hammer said, "Can I leave?"

"Oh, no problem!" Big Iron Hammer carried Mjolnir behind his back and waved his hand, "I'm not that fragile yet."

Then he asked, "By the way, there was a brother who ran back to report the news earlier. Are they okay?"

Gao Jianli frowned, shook his head and said, "I didn't see anyone on the way here. I must have just missed it."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Sledgehammer touched his chin, "That's right, it doesn't look like there are any enemies."

If Wei Zhuang sends other experts here, the Bone Demon cannot fight alone. After all, there is no point in hiding the other person. The government city has stepped up its defenses. He cannot take the opportunity to break in. It is better to join him honestly. Against the enemy, this might not hold up the sledgehammer until reinforcements arrive.

You can't just arrange for a master to come over and kill an ordinary disciple just to hide in the dark, right?

No way?
  At the same time, at the other end of the dense forest, a corpse wearing a Mohist disciple's uniform was lying on the ground in a twisted posture, obviously dead.

Next to the corpse, a figure that seemed darker than the night stood quietly. Under the cover of the dense forest leaves, no light could penetrate, so it was naturally impossible to see this dark figure clearly.

Just vaguely, the figure of this person suddenly changed. His height, body shape, outline of clothes... and other aspects began to gradually move closer to the corpse on the ground.

After the transformation was completed, the person walked out and after a few steps left the darkest corner, exposed to the moonlight.

It was clearly visible that this person was the Mohist disciple who had just been ordered to run away by Big Hammer.

………………

"Ugh..."

The bone demon's only remaining scimitar fell to the ground, while others were covering their heads, struggling and twisting their bodies, and let out a series of hoarse roars.

However, his hoarse roar was almost completely inaudible to others, because the entire area was filled with the clear and quiet sound of the flute.

At the top of the tallest giant tree nearby, the snow girl is as independent as an elf under the moon. Against the moonlight splashed by the moon in the sky, her whole body seems to be crystal clear and shining. Her two slender hands are holding ancient treasures from the past. Looking for the jade flute given to her, her eyes were half-closed, her pink lips were lightly opened, and her fingers were moving continuously.

The sweet melody is born from the flute and spreads throughout the back mountains.

To Gao Jianli and Big Iron Hammer, this was a beautiful piece of music that had reached the pinnacle of their attainment, but to the Bone Demon's ears, it sounded like a life-threatening demonic sound.

Under the influence of the snow girl's flute, he felt that all the energy in his body was stirring, and all the blood in his body seemed to be rushing towards the top of his head, as if it was going to blow up his head.

Of course, this... is not just an illusion, but a fact.

Xue Nu is not only a powerful swordsman, but also good at the sound-killing technique. After all, when people talk about her, she is the master of both flute and sword.

Although her sound killing technique is not even inferior to Nong Yu's Tian Qin magic technique, it is still not a problem to deal with a bone demon who has been injured and whose breath is seriously disturbed.

And her music-killing technique is the song "White Snow".

"White Snow" is an awakening music with a light melody and smooth melody. If the intensity is controlled well, it can help others escape from the control of illusion. However, if the intensity is deliberately increased, it will become a talisman.

Under the influence of the sound waves mixed with layers of true energy, the true energy in the body of the person listening to the music will explode. If the situation is serious, the blood will flow up and down.

If the bone demon is in good condition, it can barely resist the influence of the "White Snow" song, and at least it can run a certain distance. But now, he can only let others slaughter him and wait for death.

After a moment, the melody dissipated, and the snow girl opened her eyes, carefully hung the jade flute around her waist, glanced in one direction, and then floated away.

Almost anyone within the range of her sonic influence can be clearly sensed by her.

A long time ago, probably...before she met Gu Xun, she had no ability to control the target of the attack. Basically, everyone within the range would be affected. However, later she practiced the Yaoguang Heart Technique and her inner strength. As you become more and more sophisticated, you will be able to control the target of the sound killing technique at will.

However, her ability to sense feedback was not affected, so she just discovered that besides the bone demon and Gao Jianli's big hammer, there was another person in the dense forest at the back of the mountain.

The person's aura was very weak, and he was probably a disciple of the Mohist family, so she left without looking into it carefully.

As for her target bone demon... she no longer needs to take another look.

The cold wind blew by, and the slender body wearing a ferocious mask fell dead in the forest in an unusually twisted posture. Not far from him, there was a sharp curved scimitar.

………………

On the distant hilltop, as time passed, the old man Gong Shuqiu also appeared.

As a master of machine arts and a scientific madman, Gong Shuqiu is obsessed with machine arts, but he also has some understanding of people and things in the world.

And Xue Nu, who had fought against the Empire in Loulan, was naturally one of the masters he knew best.

As soon as the song "White Snow" appeared, he could hear it.

It wasn't that he was familiar with the piece. In fact, even if he was familiar with it, he couldn't actually hear the melody clearly from such a long distance. He could only roughly tell that it was the sound of a flute.

As for the Mo family, the only one who is proficient in the flute art is the Snow Fairy.

After thinking about it for a while, Gongshu Chouzhen said with a worried smile, "Master Wei Zhuang, this Snow Girl is not easy to mess with. Aren't your people going to be in some trouble?"

When Wei Zhuang heard this, he just smiled coldly and did not respond.

On the other hand, Mo Ya kindly responded to Gongshu Chou, "Haha, Lord Gongshu has made a mistake. The bone demon will not be in trouble."

"Oh..." Gong Shuqiu was stunned for a moment. Is this bone demon so strong? Or is Niqusha's killer strength just that outrageous?

impossible……

Although I am very doubtful, it is obviously impossible for Gong Shuqiu to forcefully dismantle Mo Ya. Anyway, as for your people, you can rest assured.

So he nodded and smiled, "That's good, that's good."

At this time, Mo Ya added something in a light and cheerful tone that made Gong Shuqiu almost choke to death, "The bone demon will not be in trouble, it's just that 99% of the time he won't be able to walk out of that forest alive."

"I……"

Gong Shuqiu's stiff old face twitched violently several times, his mouth opened and closed several times, but no words came out.

There won't be any trouble with the Bone Demon because he is about to die! But this is not one of our own, why do you act as if he is an undercover agent of the Mohist family?

Gong Shuqiu felt that he really couldn't understand Liusha's behavior...

And neither Mo Ya nor Wei Zhuang wanted to explain to him.

When he heard the faint melody of music disappearing in the air, Wei Zhuang knew that the Bone Demon had fully confessed.

Grabbing the shark-tooth sword, he turned around and left.

Mo Ya shrugged and immediately disappeared without saying a word.

The confused Gong Shuqiu ignored his own doubts and hurried after Wei Zhuang.

In fact, the reason why they don't care about the life or death of the bone demon is very simple - because the bone demon seeks his own death!
  It's not like he doesn't know what masters there are in the city, and the tasks assigned by Wei Zhuang are just for him to cause some trouble.

He didn't want to accept it until it was good. He didn't want to enjoy the thrill of hunting. He deserved to be trapped in it.

Of course, there is another more core reason, which is that the killer of Counter-Quicksand is no longer important.

The initial birth of this organization was just a toy created by Wei Zhuang out of extreme boredom. Later, it gradually developed some clues, but to Liusha, it still has little practical significance.

Now, Liusha's years of planning has almost come to a close, and the vassal Ni Liusha has become dispensable.

These killers will survive as long as they have the brains to survive. Even if they can't survive, Wei Zhuang is too lazy to worry too much.

Anyway, if you need it, just look for it. In this turbulent era, there is always no shortage of creatures like killers, even top-notch ones like the Bone Demon.

………………

In the agency city, Master Ban greeted the two snow girls, Gao Jianli, with anxious expressions.

"How's it going? Nothing big happened, right?"

Gao Jianli raised his hand and pressed it, signaling Master Ban to calm down, "Don't worry, Master Ban."

"Big Iron Hammer encountered a bone demon that went against the quicksand and suffered some injuries. Miss Rong has already shown it to him. It's nothing serious."

"Bone Demon!" Master Ban was startled, and immediately nodded while stroking his beard, "It's this guy. No wonder Big Hammer suffered a loss. He probably can't do anything against this type of opponent."

The snow girl added in a cold voice, "Several brothers died, and only one of the two patrolling with the hammer escaped."

"However, the bone demon has also been dealt with."

When he heard that a disciple had died, Master Ban's face suddenly darkened. Fortunately, the murderer, the Bone Demon, had been killed, which made him feel a little relieved. He sighed softly, "Alas..."

He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

For many disciples of the Mohist family, death is not a rare thing. In other words, for the current world, death is a very common trivial matter. Master Ban may feel that there is no point in expressing unnecessary emotions, so he does not say anything. .

"Fortunately, you two arrived in time. Not only did you save Big Hammer, you also took the opportunity to visit one of Wei Zhuang's capable men."

After talking about these thankful things, Master Ban also raised a doubt, "Did they just send a bone demon over to Niqusha?"

Xue Nu and Gao Jianli looked at each other and nodded together, "That's right."

"We did a rough inspection and found no other abnormalities."

"This..." Master Ban stroked his beard and looked confused, "What is Wei Zhuang going to do?"

"No matter how empty the garrison city's defense is, a bone demon can't do anything. He just sent this person here. Could it be that he's here to die?"

Gao Jianli frowned and continued, "We are also wondering about this."

Wei Zhuang sent the bone demon here to achieve some purpose.

Now even the Bone Demon is involved, so what is the goal he wants to achieve?
  It can't really be that the bone demon just couldn't think of it and came here to seek death, right?
  Or was he just here to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the big hammer, but he was a step too late and was stopped by himself and others, so the plan failed and cost him his life?

This was an explanation, but it was an extremely far-fetched explanation, and Gao Jianli couldn't accept it in his heart.

Master Ban also had a sad look on his face and after thinking for a long time, he had no clue and could only sigh, "Oh, forget it, I don't think about it so much anymore."

"Let's stay energetic tonight, don't sleep, and always be on guard."

"Anyway, it's just for one night. It will be fine when the giants and the others come back tomorrow."

Gao Jianli and Xue Nu did not question the stupid idea proposed by Master Ban, and nodded in approval.

Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are clear, we can't figure out the enemy's movements, so we can only deal with it in this stupid way.

Moreover, in one night's work, it is basically impossible to cause too serious problems.

"Then I'll go patrolling around." After accepting this plan, the snow girl immediately decided what to do next.

Master Ben rubbed his brows and nodded in a tired tone, "Well, Snow Girl, just do whatever you want."

"Xiao Gao, I'll leave it to you to guard the central pool all night."

"Although... it stands to reason that nothing will happen in that place, but I'm a little worried, so I'd better make more preparations."

Gao Jianli had no objection to Master Ban's arrangement, nodded and said, "No problem."

Then he looked at Master Ben who was obviously tired and said with some worry, "Master, you... better take a rest."

Master Ben smiled wryly and waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't sleep now, so I'll just wander around."

Seeing Master Ban's firm attitude, Gao Jianli stopped trying to persuade him.

Again, it’s just a night, at best, I can get more rest tomorrow when the situation is more stable.

However, he still warned, "Master, you'd better find a few disciples to accompany you to avoid any accidents."

Master Ben was a little confused and didn't want to think too much, so he rejected the proposal without thinking, "Manpower is tight, so we won't bother."

"I'll just take a stroll in the inner city area. There won't be any danger. The main thing is to guard all the entrances and exits."

Although Gao Jianli was worried about Master Ban, he still agreed with his views. Not only were there people guarding each pass of the government city, but more importantly, there were also government gates.

There is basically no possibility of sneaking in quietly, and the inner city area is generally safe.

"Then... Master, please pay more attention. I'm going to the central pool first." Gao Jianli said a final word of concern, then turned and left.

The snow girl also nodded to Master Ben, left a word and left.

"take care."

Master Ban couldn't help but lower his head and smile as he looked at these two wonderful people who were colder than the other but awkwardly caring about him.

But as if he thought of something, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and left the passage.
